OpenPlane, the Lakehouse You Run Yourself
An open Apache Iceberg data warehouse that installs inside a company’s own cloud account and uses agents to model, query, and operate it.
Field notes
OpenPlane describes a customer-controlled Iceberg deployment assembled from Kubernetes, object storage, Lakekeeper, and DuckDB rather than a vendor-hosted warehouse. Its example workflow has a modeling agent open a repository pull request, then uses defined metrics and lineage to answer a margin question. The page illustrates a 17-minute 42-second setup and prices a sample 200-person workload at $2,350 per month on AWS, Azure, or GCP, while noting that the figures are based on published list rates.
